And I'm glad it didn't happen tomorrow! Yesterday had a bad spike after breakfast (think this might have been a slow absorber though as the same timing has been working great for the past week!) lol, so this morning I tested before breakfast - 6.0mmol, left the bolus a few minutes extra as didn't appreciate yesterdays spike, 2 hours post - 6.0mmol, pre lunch - 6.0mmol 😱 seriously would have freaked the h**l outta me if that had happened tomorrow! x
 
Hehe! Let’s see how many you can get on the trot!
 
Mind you, in 2005 an old fragment of the oldest surviving written version of the New Testament indicates that the actual number of the beast is 616. Not that the legions of Death Metal groups care.🙄

Mind, I wouldn’t suggest you go for a 1 in your sequence of 6s.:D
 
How about this then? At diagnosis my blood sugar was 37 mmol/l, which converts to 666 mg/dl in the US numbers 😱

Needless to say, when I found this out a year or so after diagnosis, I wrote this poem about it - quite appropriate for Hallowe'en! 😱 🙂

Number of the Beast
I know you Beast, I know your name,
You hide amid the gloom
And darken days that once were bright,
And beckon me to your tomb.

Creeping, cruel and cursed Beast,
Insidious and sly,
You think you scare me, but you don’t –
And here’s the reason why…

I don’t have diabetes,
Just a lack of insulin,
And since I can inject that,
You must see you cannot win!

So I declare you dead and gone,
You never did exist!
No monster lies beneath my bed –
Dear Beast you won’t be missed!

You don’t hide in my cupboard,
Nor lurk behind the door,
And if I turn my back on you,
Then I’ll see you no more!

I’d like you, please, to stick your head
Inside a dead bear’s bum,
And let that be a taster of
The things you’ve got to come!

Beast? Pah! :D
